10 Incredibly Filthy Jokes You Won't Believe Are Hidden In Children's Movies

10. Scott Makes A Reference To His Drug-Addled Past - The Santa Clause

The Santa Clause Tim Allen
Buena Vista Pictures

The Santa Clause is a movie about Tim Allen, and what happens when Tim Allen accidently murders Santa Claus and has to take his place at Christmas. It's one of those live-action Disney movies that, if you saw it as a kid, you probably think back on with nostalgic delight. If you saw it at any point past the age of fifteen, though, you were presumably forced into it by somebody who loved it as a kid and thinks back on it with nostalgic delight.

For the rest of you: it kind of sucks. Mediocre as this one is, then, there is a strange and interesting little gag inherent to this flick that somehow got past the Disney censors - a nice reference for all the moms and dads who were dragged out to see it, apparently, given that it's about drugs, and the '60s, and how anybody who lived in the '60s did a bunch of drugs.

When Allen's character, Scott, starts to fly like Santa, you see, his cute and innocent son comments: "Woah! You're flying!" Scott's inappropriate, winking retort? "It's okay, I'm used to it. I lived through the '60s!" So basically Allen's Disney dad character did a ton of LSD as a teen, and it's all right to put that in the movie, is it?

Coincidentally, Tim Allen used to love drugs in real life, too, which gives this a nice added layer of accidental meta-hilarity.
